A OuaiI Eaters Experience.

A few minutes after midnight Mr.. Paul SITS
down at a table in his cafe with two nicely
roasted birds before him and crowd OF club
men at his elbows. He picks the bones clean
and then seals them up in an envelope. Two
witnesses SIGN their names and the date. The
ton Of NIr. Paul's safe looks like miniature
nostorice with its mountain of bulging en-
velopes. ,.,

JIr Paul until last Sunday. Then my
stomach began to go back on me and felt
rather rocky. For the last four days my SKIN
has begun TO smell of quail Curious Ism

That's the hardest thing about the match. l

without legs | think / could eat 800 III q

when a man has eaten all the quail that ne
really cares for and must eat more he revolts
at the legs.
aThere is one curious effect that quail eat

informs. You know that quails contain

the house and even attempts TO pursue her
when she goes out. 1t watches for her return
at the door, and after any prolonged absence
exhibits sulkineSs At what it evidently regards
as unjuStihable neglect. The only period Of
the day or night at which it voluntarily
leaves her side is in the morning, when it
scratches at the maids door TO wake her up,
and fswns upon her for its breakfast. At all
other times it avoids the girl and will permit

LIGHTING RODS.

Devastation is of almost daily occur
renee, during the heated period, all over
our land. And yet there is absolute pro-
lection, both to life and property. by the
proper use of lightning conductors.
Science has recognized this fact since
the days of Franklin, and never so much
so as in recent years, when the National
Government of the world protect their
Navies Powder Magazines, and all other
public works and monuments with
lightning rods. The subject of this
toring establishment of lightning rods
in the country, and no doubt in the
world, esta bllshed themselves in 1849,
and have extended their business, from
year to year till they are known in every
state in the union. They manufacture
everything known in the line OF light
ming rods, and use great quantities of
IRON, steel, copper, silver, gold, platinum
and other metals in the manufacturing
of their goods. So perfect has their
system of conductors become, that the
firm IS now furnishing retail dealers of
their goods with bona ide guarantee
policy Of $4,000 on every job Of work
properly erected. which is great help to
dealers. This is guarantee that Cole
Bros rods will protect against lightning,
ana mas Dcen LeSCeQ In Lle supreme
Court and held to be binding to the
firm for full amount guaranteed. They
issue the guarantee from the home Of
fees of these branch houses, and permit
the agents to take applications for the
same only. The present system of light
ming conductors is certainly reaching
great perfection, when firm is as res
ponsible and universally known as the
corporation of Cole Bros. will risk the
guaranteeing of millions of dollars on
the efficiency of their electric conductors.
Yet out of the many millions of dollars
this firm has guaranteed, they state that
their losses are hardly worth consldera-
ton. Cole Bros. make an effort to put
their rods in the hands of none but re-
liable agents. All parties in the trade
or desiring protection will do well by
corresponding with H. J. Minar whole
